// INDEPENDENT CIVIC TECHNOLOGY
Technology for people who refuse to look away.
RESIST is an independent social media platform for discovering, documenting, mapping and connecting around what is happening in the real world.
Public browsing. No account required.
// WHY RESIST EXISTS
The tools are not the problem. Who controls them is.
The technology people use to communicate, document events, organize, and find one another is increasingly controlled by a handful of companies whose incentives are advertising, surveillance, profit, and compliance. RESIST proves those tools do not belong exclusively to billion-dollar platforms. We can build them too — and build them for people instead of power.
// TRUST MODEL
Built differently. On purpose.
Most social platforms turn useful interaction patterns into attention loops, ad inventory, and behavioral data. RESIST uses those patterns for a different job: helping people find, document, connect, and act.
We are not building behavioral profiles so advertisers can buy access to you.
RESIST is not just a skin on somebody else's social network.
Collect less. Store only what the platform actually needs. Keep sensitive information out of places it does not belong.
Useful civic technology should not require permission from Silicon Valley gatekeepers to exist.
Not built to sell your data. Not funded by advertisers. Not an arm of a political party or government agency.
